I would like to make a request for PowerJournal to be portable.

Program: PowerJournal

License: GNU General Public License

Description: PowerJournal is a java-based journaling software that is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can also upload to an online database using hSQL and MySQL.

Website: http://powerjournal.sourceforge.net

Other: Only entries on the computer I see is in C:\Documents and Settings\[CURRENTUSER]\.PowerJournal. And the reason this needs a launcher is that the journal and settings are stored there.

Suite USB Thumb/Flash Drive Detection

I have replaced my U3 partition with my own using PortableApps.exe
This works great unless I go to another computer which loads my thumb drive as a different drive letter.

Would be great if the PortableApps Suite had the ability to search for the drive which contained it's other files.

Didn't know where else to post this. Feel free to forward to appropriate forum.

HijackThis Portable

Submitted by kars85 on May 23, 2007 - 1:10pm

First off, this is an awesome site. I had no idea this existed, but will sure spread the word throughout my fellow IT buddies here at work.

Has HijackThis ever been made portable? It's a single exe, and know that it's been acquired by Trend Micro, but was wondering if it was still able to be ported to a portable form.

Thanks!

P.S. Is there a tutorial someone could link on creating portable programs?

Im just testing the water to see if it could be made into a portable app. Its open source, and very popular to boot. Just seeing if theres interest.

Ideas For Portable Linux distros

Submitted by Goliath89 on May 22, 2007 - 5:10pm

I do not have a great knowledge of Linux but I do know of two very small distros that can run from memory stick that could perhaps be converted to run in windows with an emulator. They are Damn Small Linux and Puppy Linux. Both are pretty slick as I have tried them from Live CDs, Puppy Linux is a little bigger in size but is expandable with extra apps and is bit better on the eye where as Damn Small Linux is smaller but uglier.

GCC and cygwin portable

Submitted by PhreakOnALeash on May 22, 2007 - 3:12pm

Hi folks,

I am learning NSIS, in particular the portabilizing aspects of it. Smile

I want to portabilize the entire gcc toolchain, including cygwin (the only non portable part, imho...). I also want to portabilize the PRC-Tools plugin (prc-tools.sf.net) to aid in my PalmOS development.
I have Dev-C++ for desktop developement, GCC wouuld be solely for Palm developmtn now that I think of it.

is this feasible? How would I go about doing this?

Later Daze,
